THE BRBADsTUFFS SITUATION.
Special kilograms to Bradstreet's this
week note favoring rainfalls in the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri winter-wheat
regions, which have improved the out
look. The spring wheat crop was soWn
under generally favorable conditions.
The heavy SHOWS III the southwest states,
previous to the spring seeding, may have
left the soil with sufficient moisture to
stand q prolonged period Of limited rain
fall. In some sections there are already
complaints Of insufficient moisture IN the
spling- wheat belt,
The export movement Of wheat and
-four for Europe this week has been quite
active from Atlantic seapOrts, though
from the Pacific coast it has been mod
crate. Tle indications now are that the
export of wheat alone from Atlantic ports
during the present week will exceed
1000, 900 bushels, with q prospective di-
FINISHED f'visible" wheat of upwards Of
, 10000, 900 bushels.
Fresh supplies of winter wheat, to the
extent of about 500, 900 bushels, at pri-
mary wiuter wheat points, are added
weekly TO the movement. The store
stocks OF winter wheat, at all points of
accumulation in the country east Of the
Rocky Mountains, are only about 1000,
900 bushels, Of which very considerable
proportion must necessarily be held as
the basis for option trading.
The store stock of contract No red
winter wheat ct this port has become re-
duced 10 about 800, 900 bushels. From
al the winter wheat sections of the COun-
try millers complain Of great difficulty IN
obtaining winter wheat, and consequently
cannot fill orders for winter wheat flour.
The latter is daily growing dearer.
MIn the United States, on the basis of the
Washington department estimate Cf the
crop of 1856, reserves added, and the
usual ration of consumption for 10000
900 of people for food, seed, manutac-
lures, ETC., there will be less than 1G, 000,
900 bushels of wheat and -four for export
until the new crop arrives, aside from
30, 600, 900 bushels usual permanent re-
serve. The latter may be drawn upon to
q limited extent-say $4,000, 900 to II,
OO0,0 misunderstanding the unusually
low reserve of 100000 bushels to be
carried forward to next crop season.
The quantity of wheat and flour Oh
passage for the United Kingdom, May ),
1887, was 1+,92O,OO0 bushels, including
1882, 900 bushels from the United States,
O7G,0O0 from British India, 1000, 600
bushels from Australia, I,I7G,OOO bushels
from Chilli, $4,000 bushels from Black
and Azov seas, aud 25G, 200 bushels from
all other countries. The aggregate from
al other countries than the United States
is 5.OS8,00 bushels, or rather more than
one-tbird of the whcle.-i Bradstreets.
